I am thinking parts of a toy doll.
 
The left one is flint in it's original appearance with some limestone still attached. Flint was formed in shallow tropical seas. Silica spikes of sea-urchins leached in to a limestone seabed were it accreted in the burrows of crabs, shrimps and other burrowers. Sometimes scrap marks of the burrower can be discerned. Flint was used to make stone tools.
 
I agree, the foot shaped thing is a piece of flint. Although this is not native to where I live we find pieces of it on beaches where wharves once stood. They may have come in a ballast on old sailing ships, possibly centuries ago. The broken surface looks like the edge of broken glass - that is one clue. The shape is another.

Not a clue what the other is. Likely some cast iron object.
 
I think the "metal piece with pattern" may be the remains of an old "clicker" (a toy that made a clicking noise when pressed). They were often made to resemble a frog, and from metal more substantial than just pressed tin (no pun intended) like the more recent ones.
